Wow, what a great thread! Reading your list @bipolarbunny and the 120+ replies got me trying to think about myself positively which is no mean feat atm. Baby steps for me, but here goes:

(1) I got out of bed this morning, dressed and left the caravan

(2) I logged onto Sane Forums and actually created a post for once

(3) I resisted the urge to harm myself...

@RedHorse

On the back of this and your other thread, I just wanted to say Well Done You

Awesome effort @RedHorse ❤️

Hello @RedHorse

Great that you @RedHorse, have found the forum posts to be inspirational and motivational. The efforts and experiences offered by many members are certainly a solid way of overcoming some of that inertia that we can often succumb to. Have to say that a lot of what @bipolarbunny and others offer is mentally stimulating, as well as inspiring and motivating.

I was impressed with your comment that you worked "to think about myself positively".

Each person knows the areas where they are most vulnerable and prone to slip. However, a read of the threads, posts and responses is often a great pick-me-up.

And, we all know about "baby steps." So easy to over-extend and fall backwards. If we gently measure and acknowledge our progress, we can accomplish a lot, in a relatively short space of time. All that, without adding too much pressure in the process.

Very pleased to know that you respected yourself today, instead of giving in to the negatives.

With My Very Best Wishes
